2 Corinthians 12
1 It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast, but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
Yiinogiwa nedaye, ilakhesikhuli ekhekhidenchiwa nelyo. Ila nikhwendelela khunyivonelo mwinukhe uwakhukhuma khwa mbaha.
2 I know a man in Christ who was caught up into the third heaven fourteen years ago—whether in the body, I do not know, or whether out of the body, I do not know; God knows.
Nemanyile umunu yumo mwa Kilisite uuvalenave miaka kumi na minne egegerutile inave—giva mumbele, au khunchi khumbele, one sanehumanyile, Unguluve alumanyile—akhapembiwe khukwanya khukherunga ekhwadatu.
3 I know such a man (whether in the body, or outside of the body, I do not know; God knows),
Tena nelumanyile ukhuta umunu oyo—yingave khumbele, au khunchi khumbele ane saneluumanyile Unguluve alumanyile—
4 how he was caught up into Paradise and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
ataliwe khukwanya impakha akhu paradeisi nukhupulekha embombo embalanchee khu munu vevoni uvikhoganchova.
5 On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.
Pakhuva umunu uyale nduyu yu nikhedaya. ila pakhuva ningave nemwene uvupepowango.
6 For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no man may think more of me than that which he sees in me or hears from me.
Inave ninogwa ukhwedaya, sananiva inkonyofu, ulwakuva naninchoovaga uvutilweli. Ila nibekhela ukhwedaya, ili ave asipali vevoni uvakhusagila fivi pakwanya paago kholikho ekhokhive nekha igati ndyune au ukhupulekhekhe khulwune.
7 By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, a thorn in the flesh was given to me: a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively.
Sanekhedaye ulwakhuva inyivonelo inchoo ajaabu. Ulwakhuva, sanidendiwa na matingo, elitoni lwa vekhiwe igati ndyune, usung'wa va ndugu khukhonesya onenee, ili nesite ukhupendukha ukhuva nulwedayo.
8 Concerning this thing, I begged the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
Ifisekhe vidatu nekhanchoovile mumbaha khukhusu ela, ili omwene okhukhencha ukhukhuma khulwune.
9 He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.
Umwene akhambula, “Uluhungu lwango lukwelile khulwune, inave amakha givomba ukhuva ipepe. Inave, nenganogweficha ulwedayo ukhulengana uvupepo wetu, niogwa uvuwesyo uvya Kilisiti vuwesya ukhutama pakwanya palyunee.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, and in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.
Hata evo nikwelanila ukhukongana nu Kilisti, inave uvupepo, mu maganilo, mu taabu, mukhutesivwa, inave bado ulendokuto, ulwakhuva usekhe ugunavile nuvupepo, tena nelena makha.
11 I have become foolish in boasting. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for I am in no way inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.
One nevile inkonyoofu! umwe mwa nyumelinche khu ele, ulwakhuva na niva nimuliwe numwe. Ulwakhuva sanala pasi khabisa khu vale avavikhelangiwa vasikhiwa— vanono, inave one siyo khantu.
12 Truly the signs of an apostle were worked among you in all perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty works.
Ulwedekho ulwayilweli ulwa vasikhiwa twavombikhe pagati palwufwe nu lweyumilenchoo, nchivonekha nchakhuswiga nemigendelo.
13 For what is there in which you were made inferior to the rest of the assemblies, unless it is that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!
Khulugendo lulekho monogelamile ukhuva pasi pa tembile inchisigile, ila onene sanave inchigo khulwumwe? Musyekhele khunongwa inchi!
14 Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I seek not your possessions, but you. For the children ought not to save up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
Lolaa! one ninogwa okhwincha khulwumwe mara ya datu. Saniva inchigo khulwumwe, olwakhuva saninogwa ekhenu. Nikhuvonogwa omwe. Ulwakhuva avana savinogiwa ukhuvekha ifyapongera. Pakhuva yamwene, avavakha vinogiwa ukhuvekha ifyapongera khwa khuvatanga avana.
15 I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?
Nikhovokha sana ukhutumikha nukhutumekhewa mbunogwe wenyo. Inave nivaganile finchoo, ninogiwa ukhuganiwa padebe?
16 Even so, I myself did not burden you. But you might say that being crafty, I caught you with deception.
Ila inave vuyelevo, sanekhavalekhele unchingo umwe. Ulwakhuva one nelemanyi sana, une ne navakolile omwe nale ndo khuva navawene khuvudesi.
17 Did I take advantage of you by anyone of those whom I have sent to you?
Te, nekhatolile nu khwevombela ifyapakwanya khwa vevoni uvenekhasukhile khulwumwe?
18 I exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? Did not we walk in the same spirit? Did not we walk in the same steps?
Nambulaninche uTito ukhwincha khulwumwe, ne khasung'ile ulokolo ayonge okhwincha pupaninie? Je, uTito avavombile ifinu fihi? Je, satwagendile munjila yila yila? Je, satwagende mulwayo lula lula?
19 Again, do you think that we are excusing ourselves to you? In the sight of God we speak in Christ. But all things, beloved, are for your edifying.
Mutile khusekhe gwoni ugu tulekhwetetela yufwe twevene khulwumwe? Khuvulongolo khwa Nguluve, nu Kriisti, tuvile twinchova khelakhela khunjela iyakhuvemikha omwe.
20 For I am afraid that perhaps when I come, I might find you not the way I want to, and that I might be found by you as you do not desire, that perhaps there would be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, whisperings, proud thoughts, or riots,
Inave nele nulutende ukhuta nelava nikhwinchi nesite okhuvavona omwe ndo luninogwa. Nele nulotende ukhuta muwesya msite ukhumbona one ndolo mwinogwa. Nele nulutende ukhuta palava namalumbano, uwifu, umwinukhu ugwa luvipo, uvwegane uvwa vemwene, uvudesi, ekhiburi, na matata.
21 that again when I come my God would humble me before you, and I would mourn for many of those who have sinned before now, and not repented of the uncleanness, sexual immorality, and lustfulness which they committed.
Nele nulutende ukhuva upuyakhanivuya tena, Unguluve vango iwesya ukhunyisya pavulongolo palwumwe. Nele nulutende ukhuta yuniwesya ukhwelelesya na vingi avava vombile imbivi usekhe ugu, na avasavadovele ulusyekhelo, nu vuligu ni mbombo inchinchivombiwa.
